9.13

潭州石霜山性空禪師僧問。如何是西來意。師曰。若人在千尺井中。不假寸繩出得此人。即答汝西來意。僧曰。近日湖南暢和尚出世。亦為人東語西話。師喚沙彌。拽出死屍著（沙彌即仰山也）沙彌後舉問耽源。如何出得井中人。耽源曰。咄癡漢誰在井中。後問溈山。如何出得井中人。溈山乃呼慧寂。寂應諾。溈山曰。出也及住仰山嘗舉前語謂眾曰。我耽源處得名。溈山處得地。

Chan Master Xingkong of Mount Shishuang in Tanzhou: A monk asked, "What is the meaning of the Patriarch's coming from the West?" The master said, "If a person is down in a thousand-foot well, without using an inch of rope, get this person out, and I will answer you on the meaning of the Patriarch's coming from the West." The monk said, "Recently in Hunan, Upādhyāya Chang appeared in the world and also rambled on about this and that for people." The master called a novice: "Drag this dead corpse out!" (The novice was Yangshan.) Later, the novice brought this up to Danyuan and asked, "How does one get the person out of the well?" Danyuan said, "Bah! You fool, who is in the well?" Later, he asked Guishan, "How does one get the person out of the well?" Guishan called out, "Huiji!" Ji answered, "Yes?" Guishan said, "He is out!" When he later resided at Mount Yang, he once cited these earlier words and told the assembly, "At Danyuan's place I attained the name; at Guishan's place I attained the ground."
